. Despite this broad confusion, authors frequently do not provide clarification of themeaning of the words they are using, leading to the situation where the literature of curriculardesign is not only confusing, it is positively ambiguous 18.Just how academics perceive the term curriculum and what is meant when they use it dependslargely upon the context. A synthesis of the literature suggests curriculum can be described ascomprising some or all of the following six aspects:  a concept – how one thinks about a curriculum in the abstract or meta level – identifiable when one talks about a curriculum rather than the curriculum 12,17;  an artifact – a document or set of documents – in other words, the written, published, planned

Internationaleducators may be well aware of the need for the programs, but if they do not fit institutionalcommon sense, they may never be embraced. The second difficulty stems from the practicalsituation of returnees: they move on to other activities, like summer jobs or new classes, andtheir concern shifts to what is newly facing them. Engineers especially have tight schedules, andsomething like reflection on a trip that is already completed (and for which they have alreadyearned credit) can seem unimportant. Third, just as education abroad is often a self-containedexperience for the students, so it is for the institution. Once

Regarding costs, a cost-increases-with-usage hypothesis was supposed bysome on the research team even though expectancy theory supported the cost-decreases-with-usage hypothesis.Construct validity was further examined by applying orthogonal (varimax) rotation factoranalysis.

For a long time, economic growth and external charitable aid have been regarded as“panaceas” for poverty alleviation. Although there have been literature studies arguing thatthere is a clear positive correlation between economic growth and poverty alleviation, theempirical results show that there is a high heterogeneity between economic growth andpoverty reduction. Countries such as Georgia, Bangladesh, Peru, and Turkey have maintainedsustained economic growth throughout the year. However, there were little success in povertyalleviation. Simply relying on
